Chapter 713 Noisy Auditorium

Under Mrs. Weasley's gaze, Ron was forced to hold back his rants.

Bill on the side stepped forward and patted Harry on the shoulder, saying in a stunned tone. "I have to say, you were so brave today, Harry. You had a duel with a mysterious man surrounded by a group of Death Eaters. If it were me, I would have been stunned!"

Harry shook his head. He didn't think his performance was anything special. He was able to escape from the cemetery all thanks to luck, the help of ghosts, and the rescue of Ivan and Sirius.

However, the members of the Order of the Phoenix obviously don't think so. They all agree with Bill's words. When facing Voldemort, Harry can be neither humble nor overbearing, and even fight back. This is enough to make most wizards in the wizarding world feel ashamed...

"Okay, everyone, if you want to know more details, please wait until tomorrow. What Harry needs most now is to go to the school hospital for a checkup and then have a good night's rest!" Sirius squeezed away and surrounded Harry. Several people said with unswerving expressions.

Although Bill and the others still had many questions to ask, they had no choice but to shut their mouths when they saw Harry's pale face and tired expression.

After consulting Dumbledore, Sirius took Harry away. Before leaving, he turned to Ivan and suggested that he also go to the school hospital.

"No, I'm fine!" Ivan shook his head and rejected Sirius's kindness.

He himself had learned medical magic and knew his physical condition very well. He was not injured but at most he had consumed too much magic power and was a little depressed...

…

At the same time, in the auditorium, all the students gathered around the long tables of the four major colleges, waiting anxiously, or whispering to each other about the chaos on the Quidditch pitch in the evening.

Several prefects who were maintaining order shouted hoarse, but it was of no avail. In desperation, they had no choice but to look at the teachers' table on the stage.

Snape was sitting alone on the empty teacher's bench, covering his left arm with his hand with a gloomy expression. He didn't pay attention to the chaotic discussions below, and he didn't even hear the shouts of the prefects.

About a few minutes later, the door of the auditorium was pushed open, and hundreds of young wizards suddenly looked over. Several professors and Dumbledore, who had never been seen, were walking in from the foyer.

Following behind, Ivan and others went to Gryffindor's long table and sat down together.

"Ivan, where were you tonight? I heard that Harry was kidnapped. Is that true?" Before they could take a good rest, George and Fred quickly joined in. He came over and asked curiously.

"Well, you can put it that way. Professor Dumbledore will explain it to you in detail later..." Ivan said in a vague tone.

Hermione, Ron and others on the other side were also surrounded by other Gryffindor wizards, and everyone was asking about their whereabouts.

When a commotion broke out in the evening, many people heard the conversation between Ivan and others, and were naturally interested in it.

"quiet!"

On the stage, Dumbledore's voice rang out, and his face was very serious, not at all as warm as usual.

The little wizards who noticed this all silenced themselves, and the originally noisy auditorium suddenly became very quiet, as if everyone was under a silencing spell.

"Tonight, many unexpected things happened to us. I also know that you must have many questions now, but before telling this news, I still have to say another thing first, so as not to ruin your beautiful life. Feeling……"

Dumbledore's half-moon eyes looked around the auditorium, and finally settled on Ivan. After a pause, he spoke.

"First of all, I need to congratulate Mr. Ivan Hals for winning the first place in the Triwizard Tournament and winning this honor for Hogwarts! And he performed extremely well in the competition and is a well-deserved warrior..."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, warm applause suddenly erupted in the auditorium, and everyone looked at the Gryffindor table, looking at Ivan sitting there with admiration, adoration, and awe.

After experiencing three games, even the students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang were convinced that Ivan won the championship, but the gap in strength was too big...

Amidst the compliments and applause, Ivan nodded casually to everyone, but there was no fluctuation in his heart. After learning the news of Voldemort's resurrection, he had no intention of celebrating the victory.

"Secondly, it's Harry Potter. He successfully won the second place in the competition!" Dumbledore waited for the applause to pause for a moment before saying again.

Hearing this, everyone present applauded and moved their eyes away from Ivan, looking for Harry on the Gryffindor table.

However, what surprised them was that Harry didn't seem to be present. He was nowhere to be found in the entire auditorium. The confused little wizard couldn't help but think of the rumor, and started talking among themselves.

"I believe some of you have guessed part of the truth. This is what I am going to say next!" Dumbledore looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, increased his volume, and said loudly.

"Just after the Triwizard Tournament, Peter Pettigrew, the fugitive from Azkaban, used Polyjuice Potion to disguise himself as Black and took Harry Potter away from the Quidditch pitch. In front of Voldemort..."

"According to Mr. Potter's description afterwards, Voldemort needed to use his blood to complete a dark magic ritual and brew a potion to restore his strength!"

Dumbledore's words suddenly condensed the atmosphere in the auditorium. Everyone stared at Dumbledore in horror and disbelief. Some even wondered if he was telling an extremely bad joke.

But Dumbledore's expression showed no hint of joking, "I must regret to inform you that he has succeeded... We have taken some actions to try to stop this, but it is obviously still a step too late..."

"Now...he is resurrected, yes, you heard it right, his magic allowed him to come back to life!"

Dumbledore's words completely detonated the depressing atmosphere on the field. The young wizards were discussing nervously and fearfully, their voices getting louder and louder, and they even seemed to be unable to suppress it...

Ivan, Ron, and Hermione, who were insiders, were even more annoyed. At first, they had time to explain to the students who asked whether things were true or not.

But in the end there were too many people who questioned it, and a few simply didn't bother to explain. Believe it or not...
